Oh the crafting possibilities with a Brother ScanNCut Machine . . .

No more cutting layers, no more marking your cardstock, card making made easy. This is my faux die created with Brother ScanNCut/Canvas Workspace (cwprj and .fcm files) is available for purchase for $6.95. It includes cut files and information pictures of the files mentioned below. Life made easy! No more expensive dies! Invest in a Brother ScanNCut machine, my affliliate link is HERE. I use the SDX85C model. You can find so many resources on YouTube to get you started using the machine, it takes time but it is so worth it. Once you've mastered the basic steps, come back here and check out my tutorial on how to create your own faux dies using your stamp sets. EMAIL me for more information.

There are so many crafting possibilities when you learn how to use your BSNC machine. I own the Nested Friends stamp set and created BSNC files to cut out blank birds and it is easy to stamp directly on the cutouts, no more fussy cutting. Do you have trouble getting the best stamped image because of juicy ink pads, especially when stamping ten or twenty birds? You don't need to stamp each one - I have a master sheet of the stamped bird image; I simply put any colored cardstock into my printer and print as many birds as I need. I use the BSNC to cut out the birds. I use the master sheet and print them out using ink that matches Stampin' Up! colors. You can find the RGB color codes online for every Stampin' Up! color. Click HERE to see what RGB codes that can easily be found on the internet. Most people aren't aware that this information is available, all you have to do is think out of the box and take stamping to a new level.

Hate punching? Do your wrists bother you? I created a BSNC file of the branch by using my Bird Builder punch. Sit back, put your feet up and let your Brother ScanNCut do all the work. I do not sell Stampin' Up! stamped images. I purchased the stamps, dies and punches for my personal use. This is an example of what you can do with a Brother ScanNCut machine. You need to put THIS on your Christmas Wishlist on Amazon. Check out the BSNC machines and accessories I use HERE (I own two differents models). Be sure to purchase correct accessories for your machine.  You can find so many resources on YouTube to get you started using the machine, it takes time but it is so worth it.

Custom Make Your Own Stamp Dies - Crafts by Beth Faux Die Tutorial

Wouldn't you love having a die for every stamp set image?  Who wouldn't!

I created a Faux Die for the butterfly from the Paper Pumpkin Delicate Wings stamp set and it was so easy.The "die cut" for the butterfly was cut using my Brother ScanNCut and their free software CanvasWorkspace. It is so easy with my tutorial. You can create files to use for all your stamps, each stamp image can be made into a faux die in less than five minutes. 

There are so many YouTube videos that show how to stamp an image and draw an outline of it, closing in the "opened" lines and cut with your machine.  Sometimes you didn't get a perfect scanned image and you have to try again. Stamp ten butterflies and you have to outline and/or close the opened lines for EACH AND EVERY butterfly. With my tutorial, you can create a file, cut ten butterflies, stamp the "die cuts" and you are done! 

With my Brother ScanNCut tutorial, why have a die where you stand over your die cutting machine, line up the image with the die and crank EACH AND EVERY butterfly. That takes a LONG TIME! And you have the battle of the die slipping over the stamped image as you are cranking it through and you have to stamp and die cut another butterfly. There goes one stamped image into the trash and your wasted time. Think of the money you'll save not purchasing dies! Most stamp sets only have three to four dies created for it, with my method you'll have a "die" for each stamp image. Keep in mind a die set may have a die that is unique, if that is the case, you may want to purchase the die set.

Oh my gosh....you can make faux dies for every Paper Pumpkin stamp set and every stamp set you own! You'll be the envy of
every stamper!

I have created a tutorial on how to create stamping layers and the "shadow" layer for the sentiment. If you know the basics to using your Brother ScanNCut and the Brother CanvasWorkspace you will be able to master my tutorial in minutes. If you decide to purchase my tutorial, you must need to understand how to scan and cut out an image using your machine. There are YouTube videos showing the basic steps for the beginner. To use this tutorial, again, you must know the basic steps in using your Brother ScanNCut and the Brother CanvasWorkspace software. I have never seen a video that creates sentiment and mat layers as easy as mine.

This tutorial is FREE with a qualifying Stampin' Up! order from me. The tutorial is also available for purchase. More information can be found after the directions for this card.
